Premium Airfryer XXL with Fat Removal Technology, Black, HD9630/98

TLDR: Don't expect "fried" foods, but it beats easily beats an oven for crispy foods either from scratch or from the freezer section of the megamart. Pricey, but high quality from a reputable company. Big enough for a family of 6. Easy to use and easy to clean. Full review: Night one, we tried an assortment of frozen convenience foods- french fries, chicken nuggets, cheese sticks, poppers, and taquitos. Some were just slightly better than the oven, some (the fries especially) were better than the oven, and the taquitos, which came out perfect, beat their fried version, giving all the crunch but zero grease. The next morning, we tried cinnamon-sugar dusted canned biscuit donuts. My kids were in heaven. They didn't even notice that I used Splenda instead of sugar, saving carbs and calories. Yum. Since then, we've baked a cake, made homemade citrus-rosemary chicken breast, roasted Brussel Sprouts (pictured with a Sous Vide sirloin,) buffalo wings, and puff pastry chocolate pockets. All were excellent. The XXL is reasonably quiet, considering the internal fan- roughly equivalent to a microwave from the 1990s. The controls are simple to use and, being analog, shouldn't fail on us (an issue for those machines with digital touch screens, or so I am told) and the non-stick surfaces are easy to clean. In short, it works like a dream- but, according to the reviews, so do many less expensive models from other manufacturers. So one question remains: is Phillips really worth the price tag? I spent a year researching before buying. I'm that kind of person. My wife and I teach public school in red states and we've got four growing kids, so budget matters in my house. The Phillips won be over based on build quality and support options. If you look at any Phillips model side by side with the other brands in most stores, you can see and feel the difference. The basket, the base, heck, even the plastic just feel better. And when you read the reviews, it seems as if other brands have a high number of lemons plus poor customer service. Many people rave about other brands, but those who run into issues frequently complain that repairs and replacements can be difficult or downright impossible. I know for a fact that Phillips does repair and replace. In fact, I have done business with one of their authorized repair centers in the past when I bought a refurbished espresso machine. Sure, I could have gambled with a cheaper brand and hoped I got one of the good ones. I probably would have been OK. But with the Phillips, I trust my investment. Plus, it helps that Amazon is letting me spread the cost out over 12 months interest free on my Prime card, easing the strain on my wallet. I have no regrets at this stage of the game. I am hoping this machine will last my family for years to come.

I don't often leave reviews for products on here but after a couple weeks with this I had to. This is without a doubt the best airfryer I've ever had. One of the major issues I have with airfryers is just how much of a pain they are to clean. They always have annoying nooks and crannies to get into, the drawer doesn't come out, there's tight corners where crumbs will bake over and over and get stuck. Not this one though. The drawer comes completely out. While scrubbing the grate I did have a complaint about the design in that it would be so much easier to clean if the grate came out as crumbs were accumulating beneath the edges of the grate... and like magic I noticed the elbow latches keeping the grate in. The grate comes out! Holy moly is this thing easy to clean. The only complaint I can possibly have for this is that the analog knobs don't feel especially accurate. This is just a downside of analog as a whole but these knobs could have been made bigger to mark times and temperatures better. Still better than having a digital airfryer with a more limited lifetime.

I like to cook. I'm not much on fad kitchen items. Let me tell you, this product is as far from 'fad' as you can get. It is used at least 5 times a week in our kitchen. It cooks everything we've put in it BETTER than the oven, deep fryer, microwave or toaster oven. Most items cook faster and more evenly than the other cooking methods. As example, simple items like Pillsbury crescent rolls cook at a low heat (in air fryer) for about 6 minutes and taste WAY better than oven baked. With every success we've had using this air fryer, we keep trying anything else we can think of and haven't discovered a single item that isn't more tasty prepared in it. The capacity of this particular air fryer is huge. We also ordered a food rack that fits inside allowing for more food to be cooked at the same time without having to pile things up. Items that cook faster go on the rack, slower to cook on the bottom. Some 'trial and error' to work through, but I don't think we've lost a single food item to stupidity using this air fryer. Check while cooking and its obvious when its time to take something OUT of the air fryer Only note of caution: 350 degree setting on the air fryer is like 400 oven degrees. 100% recommended!

I request this product to do a review inspired by the end of year festivities. I was looking for a big numbers of invitees, hence the size of the thing. Well, goes without saying that this airfryer is huge! XXL for sure! Just the size of the box itself made my heart stop. I could not stop thinking, do I really need all this? Where I gonna put this? Well, in the end I did not used this airfryer. But I can see many spaces (if you family is not XXL) that this one can be a perfect match. Communal spaces in offices, churches, clinics, and even beauty places would benefit of it. You can easily prepare snacks for clients or to those meetings without much hassle and mess. Suggestion: Frozen brazilian cheese bread (pao de queijo) usually comes out great of airfryer and is a hit with multicultural crowds. As I look on where to storage this, I may give a try on the next party around here. Fries, anyone?

I purchased the Philips Premium Airfryer XXL four years ago, and it’s been a total game-changer for my family. We still use it several times a week, and every one of us—kids and adults alike—absolutely loves it. From crispy fries to juicy chicken wings, this air fryer has become a kitchen MVP that’s held up beautifully over time. It’s hands down one of the best appliances we’ve ever owned, and I can’t imagine cooking without it! Pros: • Incredible Durability: Four years of frequent use, and it’s still running like a champ! The build quality is top-notch—the sleek black finish looks as good as new, and all the components are holding strong. • Fat Removal Magic: The Twin TurboStar technology really works—we’ve enjoyed healthier meals with up to 90% less fat, and the food still tastes amazing. It’s a guilt-free win for the whole family! • XXL Capacity: This thing is huge! It easily fits a whole chicken or enough fries for all five of us in one go. Perfect for family dinners or hosting friends. • Versatile and Easy: We’ve air-fried, roasted, grilled, and even baked with it. The controls are intuitive, and cleanup is a breeze thanks to the dishwasher-safe basket (though we usually just wipe it down). • Consistently Delicious Results: Crispy on the outside, tender inside—every time. It’s foolproof, even when the kids take over the cooking! Cons: • Size Takes Up Space: It’s an XXL model, so it does claim a chunk of counter space. Not a dealbreaker for us, but worth considering if your kitchen is tight. • Slight Learning Curve Early On: It took a few tries to nail the timing for some recipes four years ago (pre-internet recipe boom!), but once we got the hang of it, it’s been smooth sailing. The Philips Premium Airfryer XXL has been a rockstar in our home for four years and counting. It’s reliable, delivers mouthwatering meals, and has made healthy cooking fun and effortless. My family’s unanimous love for it says it all—this air fryer is worth every penny and deserves a glowing five stars. If you’re on the fence, just buy it—you won’t regret it!

I was pleasantly surprised at the size and weight of the Philips Airfryer. It's heavy-duty and has a larger capacity than I expected. Great color; I chose white. Although a little heavy, it is easy to handle, use, and clean. I noticed that some customers complained about the lack of digital controls, but I've found the temperature control knob to be completely accurate and easy to calibrate. Most importantly, it works! I think any airfryer requires some trial and error with temperature -time- recipes. The first time I tried to fry chicken, the timing was not right for the size of the chicken pieces and the coating was too thick. It didn't cook all the way through, but I figured out what to do. The frozen fries and onion rings came out absolutely perfect the very first time - crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The grease settled right in the bottom through the fat reducer just as promised. I plan to get an additional shelf so I can cook more at one time. Great product.

I love what I can do w/my air fryer. It cooks good, makes meals that taste great and its easy to use...thawed food, frozen food, doesn't matter. But ya know what really stinks? Its supposed to be dishwasher safe, non-stick and easy to clean. Two outta three ain't bad. All removable components are dishwasher safe. But they're not sufficiently non-stick. As such, just about everything that produces juices when it cooks leaves heat-treated, baked on stuff that won't all come off even in a pot scrubber dishwasher. And the user guide says not to use an abrasive sponge on the non-stick surfaces. Bottom line? Horrendous to clean - especially the Fat Reducer and the Pan. The Removable Mesh Bottom does clean easily. The Basket a little easier than the Fat Reducer and Pan but not as you'd expect based on the Cleaning Tips provided in the User Manual. One tip says clean in a dishwasher. Another is to soak in hot water and dish soap. A third even says use a degreaser. Nope, nope and nope. It is awesome to have "fried" food w/o actually frying - or, at least, w/o using all that oil. But depending on what you cook some of the grease, etc flies around inside and sticks to the burner and the heat shield. And that's really hard to clean also. Baking soda + vinegar only does so much. Bottom line - these things are great but a bear to keep clean.

This does not shorten cook times so be aware of that. It is just a healthy alternative cooking method and I think it was worth the money. Be cautious of potatoes and sweet potatoes because they can be cooked perfectly but if you leave them in there that heat still circulates and cooks them and when you pull them out perfect potatoes from 10 minutes ago are not so perfect, so empty your basket right away. We have been successful with potato wedges, buttermilk chicken wings, pork chops, and squash chips... also be careful of recipes requesting flour. Potato starch works better in this machine, but season the flour or starch rather than your meat directly, if you did not marinate your meat. Good luck to all. --Feb 25, 2020 Update Be prepared for smoke when air-frying meat. We learned to move the unit outside for the 23 minutes it takes to cook a batch of chicken wings. It's light and easy to move. Be sure it cools completely before attempting to bring it back in for cleaning. I still give it 5 stars BUT after just 2 months ALL of the numbers have just rubbed off of our timer's dial. Oil builds up on it from the cooking process so, when I wiped it clean, the numbers eventually disappeared. I ordered this one because I thought it would be easier for my oldest to make a snack than to have to program the newer digital model. If this unit ever breaks, I'm upgrading to something with digital features. I used a white out pen to rewrite the numbers on and seal with clear nail polish. Just as temporary. Our air fryer gets a lot of love. I am still pleased with the cooking times and results. I am always amazed at the amount of fat that drips from the meat but still give crispy and juicy results. It took quite a few attempts before we achieved "crispy" air fried meat. (BTW, For crispy breadless chicken wings, add 1 tsp of baking powder to your seasoning!) Because of the numbers fading away, I wouldn't get this model again or recommend it, BUT stick with Philips and go for the model with the digital features. They nailed the cooking.

De lo mejor ,.muy fácil de usar , y con un sabor exquisito

This is a terrific machine if you want to eat healthier and avoid fried food saturated in oil. I find myself using it more all the time as it cooks so rapidly and makes food nice and crispy on the outside with only a fine mist of oil. I eat a plant-based diet and also ordered a vegan air fryer recipe book that includes easy and tasty recipes! I think it's well worth getting this larger size machine even if you're cooking for one or two. I highly recommend!
